āItās been a while. Proud to announce that I am performing at Ratskin Recordsā 20th anniversary festival THIS SATURDAY 3/28!ā
āBorn just outside of Long Beach Ca, the Oakland residing producer focuses on sample-heavy, warm- textured beats which provide an emphasis on evocative, and often abstract worldbuilding. Inspired by producers such as Madlib, Knxwledge, and The Alchemist, VersĆ¢am likes to add their own stylistic swing - occasionally adding rich vocal samples to support his sonic environment.
Searching for new sounds, or spending time in nature for inspiration, VersĆ¢am has collaborated with artists whose genres range from r&b to jazz to hardcore hip-hop.ā

@versaam_
āI was at my job (k-12 education) and noticed someone with a
@smartbomb_oakland shirt on from one of the
@sfjazz nights and I was like lemme see the back and
@zacharyjameswakins and a bunch of other amazing performers names donned the back and I was like thatās the homie! Do you make music also? ā¦.and just like that the two sound heads clicked up. after hearing their sonically hypnotic and nuanced productions, the connective tissue of art brought us closer! Honored to welcome Versaam as part of OSAV Fest March 28th!
